Misty looks nothing like Hillary Swank or Mayte to me.

Not to say that either woman is ugly, I don't think they are. I just think the comparisons are completely odd lol.

that side by side shot of Misty & Hillary they have similar features. They could easily be sisters

I swear I'm not seeing it. At all.

Damn you guys sure can pick (read: tear) people apart.

*is suddenly grateful I'll never meet Prince*

Sheila looks as much black as she does hispanic. There are black hispanics out there... I'm pretty sure of it. Just because some one isn't 'African-American'... doesn't mean they aren't 'black'.

Misty has boyish features...? Good grief... get real!!!

Misty Copeland is a beautiful young woman... if Prince dates her... that's thier business. It's not like people in showbiz never date others much younger or older.... nawww... that never happens.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - that if Misty is 'boyish' or unattractive to them in some way, I'd never want them to see my pic.

Folks are brutal.

Misty is HAWT!! AND she's a ballerina?! Prince is such a pimp! that's how you age well!

I love the looks of all Prince's women, they are very beautiful and exotic looking. It's hard to choose only one from them. He is a lucky man, can have the most prettiest women in this planet.

Wow.. I wonder if this is really true, Misty is a pretty girl with a distinctive look like Prince. I think everyone is taking them together out of context though, I think he prob does think she is gorgeous and she is like wow.. Prince is a fine man, but I doubt it will ever go further than that, if it does though, I'm not mad at you. lol Just chill everyone let little man do his thing. I just think the media is blowing things up now, esp after the kim k incident, then diddy, now they will follow him around like monkeys following bananas. Good luck Prince

Misty is not bad looking.. hell of alot better than the last few girls he dated OR the Twinz.. but
I still think.. and will always think Mayte was the best!!! Sweetest and Prettiest... (in my book)

Me neither. All their facial features are completely different.

I'm trying to figure out what exactly is similar cause nothing is the same..

Okay, they look nothing alike. I'm sorry. But, Prince, tend to be a creature of habit when choosing his mates. As I mentioned earlier, chances are their not even an item.

The Black community has ALWAYS considered Sheila E...a Sista!

Sheila E is about as much a "sista" as this chick is. Sheila is biracial, as is this chick. She ain't no different than any of other Prince's other women, she is not exactly a "sista." So she fits the same category as Prince's other women. Troy Beyer, Vanity, etc.

Look at it this way, it's about who is claimed and who isn't. You don't have to be 100% black (because there's no such thing) to be considered a "sista." But, now that I think about it, I don't believe that mediatakeout was saying that Sheila was black, just that she's a "sista".

considered "sistas".

Diddo that 100%... Sheila E looks Black, she has soul and she's a true queen. Yes, she is a Black woman

Sheila E doesn't look black, and if that's the case then Walter White, Adam Clayton Powell Jr and Fredi Washington aren't Black...

Tina Marie had soul too, that can't be a definer of blackness, cause I know a lot to true blue black people that don't have a drop of rhythm in their bodies lol

and what does the queen mean? "We all were kings & queens in Africa..." thing?

It's about pride.

What does someone who "looks black" look like?

Misty is 1/4 Italian, 1/4 German and half black.

News Flash dear...if you are just talking about "Sista"hood...you don't have to be 100% Black to be a Sista. As the late, great Teena Marie proved, you don't actually have to be Black, at all!

However, if you are talking about heritage...the percentage of Blackness doesn't matter either. Especially, in the United States of America because no matter the percentage...if there is a percentage...as history has proven over and over and over and over and over and over and over...again...you're Black! Just ask Tiger Woods.

It's fuckin hilarious to see people debating whether or not a celebrity is black.

Black people always claiming their celebrities. We make sure everybody knows Prince is black. Other races are always in denial.

Now we're examining his girlfriends. Is she 75% 50% 25% or 2% black. When it comes to race that train is never late.

When it comes to biracial people we ack like all the beauty & talent comes from the black side.

OK OK that's true! But we don't always have to focus on race when theres so much more about

the genius

A great wise man once said. CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONE!

On that front...usually...we do. However, when you have statements like...

...since when was Sheila E a "sista"?

AND

Sheila E is about as much a "sista" as

That won't go unnoticed and most certainly won't go unaddressed!

Like any statement such as...

...since when was Prince a "brotha"?

AND

Prince is about as much a "brotha" as

Don't fire a slingshot in a gathering of people packing 9MMs and you won't get hurt!

JoeTyler said:

Well, if this is true, then I'm glad. "Misty" looks great, even if she's clearly too young for him (Lolita?)

Let's see if they're still together by the time Prince releases his new album...

Regarding your last sentence...Ain't that the Truth.

I could be wrong, but I thought he dated Cat back in 1988. The hearts in the lovesexy liner notes backs this up. I thought I read it somewhere they had dated too.

Not even close

Maybe if Misty was hit in the face with a frying pan, then only maybe.

Damn, tell them how you really feel.

don't know if they're dating, not any of my bizness. wish them well

can't help noticing the similarity of the names: mayte, mani, missy

he'll save a lot of money on monogramming.

right, moving on in the alphabet to a n wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing

anyway - he can put the with an M in the middle back into action now....

(recycling is a good thing/joy in repetition)

All I got to say is if Misty is dating Prince she betta watch out for the wrath of fam stalkers!

Your right, there are people from latin america that look very much SSA

I was at work talking to a dark brown Puerto Rican guy and an older lady approached us who looked like she could have been from Ghana, even in dress. And as she approached she recognized the PR guy I was talking with and they both began to speak in spanish. He told me she was from the same mountain village as he was in Puerto Rico and that most of the people there looked like her.

That being said. There is no "real" hispanic look. Sheila E is a multiracial woman Creole(mother) and Mexican(father) Sheila E. looks mixed

What about Nona, Robin, Cat?, Troy, Susan, Kim, and Vanity...?

I don't believe he dated Robin & Cat

Nona Gaye Susannah Melvoin, Susan Moonsie, Vanity, Sheila E., Kim Bassinger, Troy B, Anna Fantastic aka Anna Garcia, Mayte, Manni ... are definates he's dated/married

Many "blacks" have easily lived as white in America,

the 1Drop rule your talking about is historically a racist concept, in the same lines as it take what? 5 blacks to make 1 man(Florida) Mulattoes are sterile, Race mixing is a sin(that was on the books too as being against the laws of nature and society)

All this race stuff is made up, it's not a biological fact and anything that goes against nature is stupid

I don't think its true, but gross if it is. Way way way way too young.

He needs someone closer his age that can cringe at all the over the top things he does to his face, instead of traumatizing young impressionable kids that don't know better.

But she is sizzling hot!, so I can relate to his primal urges if true.

For those who say she looks like Mayte, this girl is much prettier.

I don't get this. "gross"?? why would it be "gross"? she's like 28 right? she ain't THAT young to call it gross. He needs to find someone that makes him happy, regardless of his age or hers.

oh...and much prettier than Mayte? no way! not IMHO anyway. She's a beautiful girl for sure but Mayte is in a class of her own.

Oh, even though that queen thing factually isn't correct. Can be a pride buster if someone realizes there is usually only 1 queen maybe a few princesses. And the rest servants... someone had to take out the trash right? And that's ok,... but the whole "we were all kings & queens is a lie" the kings & queens sold off the peasants and servants to be slaves in America

If a person can be mistaken for 'other ethnic groups' then they don't look black... Even if they identify as black

Sheila's niece Nicole identifies as Black but I don't think she looks black.

I saw comedian Lisa Lupinetti who was known for loving black men. And she rips on every type of ethnic group out there. She tore upa Jewish/Puerto Rican couple all night. And her newly Italian husband. I don't identify as black but I know what that all means in this country. So I was kinda nervous when I found out we had 4th row seats. She wanted to rip into Indian men that night, and was searching, for some reason I put my head down a bit and I heard her call out "There's one, right there in the 4th row with his head down" She was talking to me. But she couldn't determine if I was Indian or Arab. I'm mistaken for those 2 ethnic groups alot.

But you still didn't answer the question. I'm concern because what I'm getting from your previous and current response is that your idea of what black looks like is based on stereotype and caricature. Looking black isn't about dark-skin and big features. Going any deeper than that will require it's own thread.
